AMELIA's DREAM

The New York City-based duo Amelia's Dream consists of singer/songwriter Amelia S. Gewirtz and musician/producer/songwriter Harold Stephan. The group's blend of folk-pop and electronica debuted in 1996 with Here in the Rage, and consistent gigs at clubs like the Mercury Lounge, the Knitting Factory, and the Bitter End and appearances at events like the NYC Marathon and AIDS Walk earned them a strong local following. Their second album, Love Tattoo, was released in 1999 on Ripe & Ready Records, with a third album Unravel: Recorded Live at the Magic Shop following in 2004. Inspired by the birth of their son Adam in 2007, the husband and wife team released a fourth album No More Time in 2013 under the name Parents With Angst. Highly anticipated new music is being released as singles beginning in the summer of 2017, with the song White Flag leading the way.
